Feature Request

When I open the lid i dont want to unlock the laptop to see if it is charged fully.

Implementation

Like a little bar on the side/top

Have you planned working on this feature?

No

Sorry, i didnt thought that I would be this controversial.
i asked for this feature cause who knows if anyone needs it and i have no idea how to write this. I mean i dont even know that i could do this… sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. But im totally beginner in all the linux and open source stuff…

Nah man im just playing around. As for now, there isnt a way to display battery percentage while on lockscreen. I also would like to apologize for my trolling actions, but may you not think negatively on the Linux community (and overall the open source community) due to my foolish actions.

[hujberhunor]

Its okay. No worries, just from you i wont think that a whole community is bad or trash or i dont know. Its okay.

@Lolis4TheWin I'm sorry this happened to you and I wasn't able to react earlier on this! This person is not affiliated with the project at all and I've taken necessary actions for this behavior and removed the offensive comment.

For your original request, I assume it would be better to report the request to i3lock-color as we are only a shell-script wrapper generating the required (composed) images especially for multi-screens, caching them and forwarding options. As the image given to i3lock-color is static we can't really include dynamic elements without hacks which I personally would like to avoid. But until you are satisfied with the answer or would like the request to stay open here as well, I will leave it open :)

The only reason I do not entirely ban you is your apology - if something like this will happens again, I will block you on all projects I'm affiliated/in charge. Everything else is up to GitHub which I've reported this incident to.

I fully understand SebTM, thank you for reporting me to Github (and also giving me another chance). I will also like to apologize to you (and the Betterlockscreen project) for my behaviour. For those reading this and my orginal comment, I do not represent them in anyway shape or form, all disrespect shall be held against me and not to anyone affiliated with said project. I am sorry for my actions

Thank you! I think i will go to i3-lock with this. Thanks all of you for your time and help. I think this request could be closed, i have got my answers. Have a great day.
